2) Put durian in a bag in my bathroom at Formosa.
Très intelligent...

In fact, buy durian in spore or msia, the durian seller will help customer to extract out the durians and place it in the styrofoam packaging seal many time to prevent the smell coming out upon request.

The 5 Types of popular durians mainly come from Johor and Pahang

D24 - Pale yellow, bitter & creamy

Mao Shan Wang - Bright yellow, bittersweet & creamy

Red prawn - Orangy Red, sweet aftertaste

D13 - Deep orange, mildly sweet

XO - Pale yellow, bitter & soft
